BibTeX Special Symbols

Special Symbols and escapes

LaTeX provides means to describe special characters like accents or umlauts using a
special notation, which can be used just the same inside of BibTeX Entries.


As well as these accents, some characters can not be put directly into a BibTeX-entry, as they would conflict with the format description, like
{, " or $. They need to be escaped using a backslash (\).
